I wonder if 10 would be better with going with a known brand this time next year against Married:
JAN-FEB Celebrity
FEB-APRIL Dancing/Survivor/The Apprentice
APRIL-JUNE Bachelor in Paradise/The Bachelorette
JUNE-AUGUST Masterchef
SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER Come Dine With Me Australia/The Bachelor
OCTOBER-END OF YEAR Big Brother
Masked Singer would be good, I am not confident Dancing will do a good enough job for them.
This show is an updated take on a familiar genre. Should do well here in Australia if picked up. I think Seven would probably have their eyes on this show as they desperately need a show with buzz, but 10 would be great as well.
From Friday 8 March at 9:00pm
Itâs the documentary that has the whole world talking after its premiere screening at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Now, 10 and WIN Network will bring the divisive documentary to Australian television audiences when Leaving Neverland premieres on Friday, 8 March at 9.00pm and continues Saturday, 9 March at 9.30pm on 10 and WIN Network.
In this insightful two-part television event, Leaving Neverland details the story of two boys, Brisbane born Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who began their long-running relationships with hit-maker Michael Jackson at the height of his stardom.
Now in their 30s, they recount their alleged stories of how they were sexually abused by the pop icon, and how they came to terms with it years later.
Described by Michael Jacksonâs estate as one-sided and sensationalist, this controversial and confronting documentary shines a light on the dark and disturbing events that allegedly took place over a number of years at Michael Jacksonâs famed Neverland ranch.
For those who canât wait, the extended and unedited version of Leaving Neverland will be fast-tracked on 10 Play and 10 All Access from Friday morning, 8 March at 10.01am.
Leaving Neverland is a HBO commissioned documentary in conjunction with British film maker Dan Reed ( The Valley, Terror In Mumbai, Three Days Of Terror: The Charlie Hedbo Attacks, The Paedophile Hunter ) and Channel 4 UK.
Iâm interested to know why all three networks are so obsessed with Michael Jackson specials. Is it to do with the 10th anniversary of his death?
TV Week suggested Bull was returning 8.30 Saturday (tomorrow). Doesnât seem to be the case anymore.
I am surprised Ten got the rights to this documentary since itâs commissioned by HBO. Last year another HBO documentary, Elvis Presley: The Searcher, aired on SBS.
I think the 8.30pm Saturday timeslot has been given to One Born Every Minute (original UK version).
Also surprised that 10 picked this up and that theyâre airing it on a Friday night at 9pm, doesnât really show much confidence in the show which could possibly have a fair bit of interest with some promotion and decent time slot.
Why does a Friday and Saturday timeslot automatically mean no confidence in the product - theyâve invested to provide noteworthy content for these two nights, itâs great theyâve done this rather than stick to content that wonât rate.
With this âun-editedâ version Cynicâs release from 10 was saying will be on 10 Play, I wonder if itâs referring to classification (that the broadcast may be edited for suitability)? Or like a non-abridged version with the entire product, extras, no ads etc?
Itâs set to air after a 90 minute episode of the failed Changing Rooms, on a night where their audience at that time is very scarce, with likely very little or next to no promotion and people will probably be expecting to watch Graham Norton.
Need I say any more?
Precisely where they need ratings.
This article is a good examination of one of 10âs biggest issues:
What Iâve been saying for years, 10 does it better but nobody watches.
I generally watch Ten and ABC more than 7 and 9 and have done for ages. I watched the movie Hidden Figures on 7two the other night which went for 3hrs and I reckon thatâs the longest Iâve stayed tuned to a 7 channel for years.

You mean DWTS Ep3
Aside from obvious habitual factors, the thing not mentioned in that article is that both Seven & Nine are hugely advantaged by having considerably stronger news/current affairs & sports departments (and therefore, stronger incentives for viewers to stay tuned to the network for extended periods of time) than Ten.
That is so true. Sevenâs 6 - 7pm hour is highly successful, and is not going to change for a while. Anything Ten airs in that slot, will sadly disappoint in the tv ratings. Particularly on the Weekends.
Why 9.30pm for Neverland Part 2? Whatâs so good thatâll be airing at 8.30pm?
